'cause he's here with me too. Norton AV found Trojan.Dropper and Trojan.Adclicker and says it deleted them. This was after a routine full system scan. The scan came immediately after strange and vulgar pop up ads appeared (depsite a firewall, pop-up blocker).

Well, I have found most or all of the following in my trusted sites:

*whataboutadog.com
*doginhispen.com
88.80.5.21

Have done all Norton called for, including the turning off of the infamous sysem restore. The dog comes home. If I delete it from the trusted box, it comes back when I restart my computer.

I downloaded FindAWF. The attachment of findings is included on this post.

I downloaded HJT. The attachment of findings is included on this post.

Thanks Howard and all you folks for your info and help,

Hey Howard, I am at Step 9 (Ccleaner) so far with the other steps, so good. TrendMicro found a trojan in C:|Windows|cpa.exe that was cleaned.

I have cleaned 50 of 450+ infected files with Ccleaner, but now it want's me to buy the full program to finish the job. Recommended?

Thanks.

What wants you to buy the full programme?

Regards Howard :)
 
When I went to Step 9 and downloaded Ccleaner (which showed http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/) as the website, it loaded OK, then tested something like 400 of 450 "infections) then stopped and said in order to have them all cleaned I'd need the full version for $29.95 US). I tried it again with the same results, only it showed then it had alread cleaned a previous 50.

Also, I never saw an Old prefetch Data option as indicated in Step 9.

I didn't want to prceed to Step 10 till we cleared up Step 9.
 
OK will do.

OK, Step 9 completed. That newer link to Ccleaner worked fine. Old Prefetch Data option unchecked.

Working on Step 10 now, Tool 1.

Ok mate, I`ll alter the link in the main sticky, so that no one else has that problem.

Howdy Howard. All 15 steps run, and the three reports are attached.

1. HJT (just done)
2. Combofix
3. AVG Antispyware

Panda Antirootkit says NO ROOTKITS FOUND.

AVG Antispyware Step 14 found 6 items, quarantined 2 (ADWARE.HOTBAR & TROJAN.ZAPCHAST) but refused to quarentine the cookies; insisted on deleting them. Couldn't make it change so it deleted them and quarantined the other 2.

Other than that, things seem to go swimingly.
